Acer Nitro 5 AN515-57 hinge weird metal grinding sound

streight

I bought my Acer Nitro 5 AN515-57 on 16/06/2023 and since yesterday, all of a sudden, when I click my keycap (when I isolate the top, bottom, left and right it only makes the sound on the bottom and left) it makes a weird metal grinding sound or as if something blocked the air in the keycap and it's trying to get out. When I removed the keycap I cleaned everything (no obstructions) the sound persisted, when applying extremely light pressure and barely touching the bottom and left part of the hinge it makes the sound again. The metal grinding sound is more accentuated when the keycap is removed. I just want to know how I can fix that and if there's hardware below the W cap in QWERTY that could be damaged.

Thanks in advance!

What has touching the W key to do with a hinge assembly? there could be Coil Whining or a bad fan bearing making that noise. Fan bearing can be fixed by replacing the fan, noise from a hinge when opening/closing the lid is indicating dirt trapped or a too tight hinge that needs to be fixed by Acer Services in your country, nothing you can do about Coil Whine.

Have it checked by Acer Tech Support asap as you cant do it yourself, contact Acer in your country as this is a sign of the hinge tightening up and it will get to a stage that you will break its hinge securing points at either the top case or the bottom case, Take action now as it will get worse🙃
